Valhalla is a Viking-themed bar and café tucked away at 4 Patrick Pool in the heart of historic York, trading on the motto "where the brave shall live forever." It pumps rock'n'metal day and night and runs live acoustic music nights most weeks alongside its Speed Quiz, backed by a serious craft-beer, ale and mead list, an extensive rum collection and home-cooked sharing food across its multi-floor space. A lively, music-led independent that draws a broad, friendly crowd to the city centre.
